Once finalized as best as possible, post your itinerary, and then look around the list at who may else be enjoying a trip at the same time. It's a great opportunity to make new friends on the isle.

If you have questions or want feedback on your planned trip, consider posting your questions on the Trail and Campsites (viewforum.php?f=4) and Canoeing, Kayaking, & Fishing (viewforum.php?f=5) subforums.

We also have a visual calendar (calendar) to post the simple schedule, as well.

When you return, we hope you share your experience with a Trip Report!

Notes/Other: Pretty straightforward trip down the Greenstone save for adding on the Feldtmann swing on the tail end. I think it's around 55-56 miles with shortest day being 7.1 miles and longest being 10.2, so it's pretty balanced and avoids the Island Mine site, which I won't complain about. Very experienced myself and will be with a first-time backpacker so I look forward to her overpacking no matter what I say . Should be a fairly easy and enjoyable trip though, relative to the greater world of longer thru-hikes, at least. Did a three-day McCargoe-Todd-Hatchet-Malone trip in May 2017 as my friend was short on time and I really want to get the thru-hike checked off the list so it's a fairly obvious route that only overlaps with about four miles of what I've already done. Figure once I knock this off I'll start getting a bit more creative as, barring untimely death, I'll certainly be back. Booked the boat today so already pretty excited about things. Now if we can just be lucky enough to get a repeat of the explosive Northern Lights display we were privileged enough to see in 2017...

This is basically same trip I had planed last year but had to cancel at last moment to due rotator cuff surgery, bummer. I will be base camping at Daisy Farm, Moskey Basin, Windigo and 1 night in Rock midway and 1 night last night. I will be using Voyaguer and water taxis due to carrying 60lbs of camera gear. In all my trips I have always brought crappy little disposable and point and shoot cameras due to weight. I will be doing astrophotgraphy, panoramic, birds in flight, sunrise/sunset and video. So I will have two Canon DSLR's, GoPRo, waterproof Nikon and a infrared/motion sensing camera long with a number of lenses from 15mm up to the 600mm. Along with tripods and all the necessary gear to make this a photography centered trip. Really excited.

There will be 4 in our group, myself, my son, my grandson and my nephew, ranging in age from 17-70. we discussed doing a shorter trip, but in the end, the consensus was to do the entire island since this will probably be my one shot to do this. Want to take lots of pictures and definitely want to do some fishing as time allows. Would appreciate any feedback and tips, warnings, etc. y'all can give.

Itinerary: Going to the Island on the 11th. Coming back on the 27th. Totally dependent on the weather. Might explore Five Fingers. Might explore Tobin Harbor. Of course, Chippewa Harbor is nice as is Malone Bay. Absolutely nothing to accomplish this trip: circumnavigation completed last year and all trails on the Island hiked since first trip in 1976. In 1980, I found the following written in a shelter at Daisy Farm: "17 miles in 14 days; casual camping strikes again." That has now become my mantra for this trip. Look for me. I'll be paddling the red Current Designs Isle.
